Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Sandalwood
Jayaruh #292 HMW Badger
Gem Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Duru Cologne

The Proraso Sandalwood Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #292 High Mountain White Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Damaskeene Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel followed by Duru Cologne After Shave. The Duru is a product of Turkey, and it was a gift to me from Mike in PA. It is a very nice lemony scent that is fresh and not over powering. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Awesome shave Karl!

That Absolute Zero soap brings “tears of joy” to my eyes - wow is it strong!

Friday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 12
Biolijf Spice SS
Aloe Vesta Moisturizer
Old Spice Classic AS Splash

This new Biolijf Spice is an awesome soap from the Netherlands that I received on Wednesday. It’s vegan based, its scent is mild but very nice - it’s on the spicy and exotic side, it gives fantastic lather that’s so thick, rich, slick, as well as protective, and it’s excellent in the skincare department. The Aloe Vesta moisturizer gave me lots of soothing, and the Old Spice Classic aftershave completed the job - truthfully and honestly I DON’T care for the scent but it’s here so I have to use it now and then. Another three pass work of art - what a great BBS shave this was!

Enjoy the weekend and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

SE SOTD, Friday, December 22nd 2023

Razor : Yaqi Romulus 316SSP SE with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle- Mfg 2023>, mild to tame mid range(depends on blade, Feather Super pro blade bumps it up a notch or shim it). Machining and Finish QC are excellent. Small head parts when assembling and removing blade I like to work on a wash cloth for less issues of dropping or scratching beautiful finish. I had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Kai Captain titan mild(3) sharp and Smoooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Ach Brito cream - nice scented Lavender with a touch of mint + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi " Moka express" 26mm Husky synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Bought this one on sale, marketing test piece I'm thinking?
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Ach Brito Lavanda + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning with my Romulus SE AC 50mm SSP with a Kai Captain titian mild blade.

Have some great shaves!
